After a car accident, victims may suffer traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). A TBI is caused by a strike or blow to the head that may have led to brain damage. This could happen if a victim’s head was struck by a foreign object or hit the steering wheel upon the impact of a car accident. TBIs can lead to long-term disabilities, such as memory loss, impaired senses and speech, migraines and seizures.
Victims may seek treatment for their TBIs. However, the potential for recovery greatly depends on the severity of the TBI and the victim’s current health. Mild TBIs, such as concussions, can recover naturally over time. However moderate and severe injuries may require additional measures. This is what it could cost victims to recover from their TBIs:

If victims want to recover from their TBIs, they may need to seek additional medical assistance. Moderate and some severe TBIs could be recovered with the help of professionals, surgeons and cognitive and physical therapists. Victims may still experience long-term symptoms, such as paralysis, cognitive impairment and memory issues.
However, some severe TBIs can not be recovered from. For example, a coma caused by a TBI may be severe, and some victims may recover from their injuries. However, if the TBI is causing brain bleeding or cell damage, the coma may be irrecoverable.
Victims may experience a great monetary loss after their TBI to pay for medical expenses. These medical expenses may be necessary for immediate health care, rehabilitation and future health care. Victims can recover the costs of their medical expenses by seeking compensation.
